Acer? Who knew?..Better then expected.

I'll start by saying I returned it. Why?!? Not the greatest for gaming. Which was it's sole purpose in my case. Casual gamers will be pleased, but hardcore competitive online gamers look else where.
Lots of motion blur and ghosting.
About as much as monitors of years past, so some may not mind, but others looking for a high performance screen with smooth motion look else where.
It's image quality is outstanding I have to admit. Surprised me.
Full 1080p.
Colors are about as accurate as the average user is going to need. Bright panel with decent contrast, even though it's black levels weren't the deepest.
Sharp clear picture with no negatives in the picture department. If I was judging it on picture quality alone over it's performance for gaming I'd still own it TBH.
It does have a glossy screen so beware of screen reflections.
Only one user setting for all the inputs.
Audio out jack (for HDMI) volume even maxed out was sort of low, and if your using HDMi you'll be using the audio out since this panel doesn't have a speaker. If your using headphones it may be a problem, with external speakers it wont be.
For the average PC user (text documents, web surfing, watching videos) at least in the picture department; can't speak of it's longevity, this is probably one of the nicest screens you can get above 22" for $150 or less. Good deal. Again, Acer surprised me.
IPS panels produce rich color and great viewing angles, but your going to need a TN with their faster response times for a slight reduction in blur.
I'm still searching for that panel with smooth motion for competitive gaming. Tv's that promise smooth motion also introduce lots of processing of the iamge which leads to input lag. Which is worst then motion blur.
Dang shame LCD's killed Plasma Tv's. I may need to invest in a purpose built gaming monitor. At about twice this price with less picture quality...It's a shame with the give and take of LCDs. I miss Panasonic plasma's. =(

Decent monitor at a decent price

Pros:
It's an IPS monitor with good color reproduction, with standard HDMI, DVI, and VGA inputs, and a single 3.5mm jack for audio output. With these connectors, you can connect any modern device natively, and many legacy devices using adapters.
1080p resolution looks nice at 23". Smaller monitors feel "cramped," but larger ones at 1080p have worse pixel density, which makes aliasing more apparent if you sit close to the display.
Both an HDMI and VGA cable are included in the box along with the power supply cable. These are roughly 6' in length with straight connectors on both ends. If you need to connect a mini-HDMI device to it, you will need to buy the appropriate cable.
Neutral:
A 60Hz refresh rate is standard, and often adequate. If you need a higher refresh rate, you'll be spending more money and it will probably be worth it.
No G-Sync or Freesync in this price range. You'll need to spend more for adaptive sync. Especially for G-Sync.
The 5ms response time is quick enough to be reasonable, but some may find it lacking. Shorter response times are available at this price range on TN panels, which have narrower viewing angles and worse color reproduction than IPS panels.
All of the connectors plug straight into the back of the monitor. If you're planning on putting this in a small space, consider getting cables with right-angle connectors to go with it. The included power supply has a right-angle connector on the end that goes to the monitor, likely for this reason.
No DisplayPort connector. You will need an adapter if you only have a DisplayPort connector for output to this monitor.
The stand is adjustable for tilt, and nothing else.
No built-in speakers. The speakers on monitors are rarely good, but some may still hold their absence against this monitor. It has audio output through a 3.5mm jack, so you can plug in standard computer speakers into it and treat the monitor as an audio pass-through for HDMI.
There's a small magnet in the front-right corner of the base of the stand, it's presence noted by a small paperclip mark. Maybe it's useful in an office setting?
Cons:
The proprietary power supply is kind of a drag. If it ever fails, it may be difficult to find a replacement. It also has the transformer "brick" in the middle, which may be tricky to hide. This is better than having a wall wart, at least.
The monitor is also not VESA-compatible. If you want to mount your monitor to a desk or wall, you will need to purchase an adapter for around $25.
Overall:
Considering that I grabbed this when it was $99 before tax, I'm satisfied with my purchase.

I bought two of these as I work in cyber security and I didn't feel like taking the others off the VESA mounts and stands (although one is a 3D 120Hz monitor with dual DVI AND two HDMI A ports).
All in all, Acer builds decent stuff - I work for Dell Services (Dell Servers and Storage now with the VMWARE EMC Airtwarch merger is odd). Dell servers are still made in Austin and Alienware is also still in Flodia. Their main rivals will probably be Apple Lenovo as far as end user computing. This model has 2 USB 3.9 ports, 1 USB 2.0 MHL low power mobile charging port. SDXC card card reader (even a CAT5/6 port too yay) although the card reader still sticks out like the Yoga 2 Pro for some reason. A lttile heavy and don't believe the keyboard backlight, there is none I would know and I'm look for a FLEX 4-1570 that may have it and fit. Touchscreen and as close to a real Pentium as one has had in a decade. Good BIOS Support, no smart card or biometric but that can be mitigated. Virtualization is possible and I think the COU issue 4430U with hyper threads. One UDIMM silt and PITA to get to but it's DDR4 16GB yu can upgrade to, I put a Consair FORCELE SATA 3 256GB which makes a Serious difference. The only think I find annoying is weight compared to the YOGA 2 ands other competitors similar models. The back does not fold entirely flat as a tabel an owners should be able to but close and the resolution is closer to 720p even though I speculate that though who want 1080p will use the HDMI port. For $399 it's a good value if you do may upgrades - AND LENOVOV PICK A POWER CONNECTOR - I HAVE A YELLOW SQUARE A YEAR AGO ON THE LENOVO YOGA 2 PRO but something entirely different on this model. AND ADDD THE RUBISIZED POWER COATED FEEL - GO FOR THE BEST!!! - Brian Network Security Sr Advisor Dell

Holy moly! I was so shocked when I got this monitor! I did not think that it was going to be as big as it is (lol). I had measured out after I bought it, and realized it was a full eight inches BIGGER than my laptop screen. So I was floored when it arrived and I had to clear off a lot of desk space for this to fit properly! But it's worth it.
PROS:
- comes with multiple cables to plug into different types of tower ports
- HDMI cable is great
- super clear picture quality, it's like having a mini plasma screen in my room now
- many adjustable brightness settings. there's the presets, like 'ECO', 'MOVIE', 'GRAPHICS', 'STANDARD', and then 'USER'. so you can change it all with the click of a button.
- simple to set up ( though the instruction booklet is awful). plugs right in and you're all set!
- does NOT need any tools to assemble
CONS:
- instructions on setting up the monitor were very vague, haha. the booklet said "mount screen to stand" "plug in" "turn on" and that was it.
- it took a long time to figure out how to mount the stand without harming the monitor itself.
- ( i don't think there's speakers on it? but i use headphones 24/7 so i don't really know )
OVERALL:
- Amazing monitor.
- Honestly I did not know that computers could have such a clear image.
- Perfect with my Alienware computer, the graphics look PHENOMENAL!
- Could not ask for a better monitor. It's just the right size ( after clearing space on my desk ). It's perfect for my games or using as a second screen for my laptop.

I ordered this monitor using the "Store Pickup" method after 9pm so I scooped it up the next day.I was currently buying parts piece by piece for a computer build since I no longer have a working PC, and can only afford one part a week so obviously I'm looking for the best deals. This was on sale ..I believe a "Deal of the day" item and using Price Zombie I saw BestBuy had it for the same as the lowest price advertised and I had a gift card so it was the time to buy. A few weeks go by and work is slow so I realize that I simply can not afford to build a complete PC and by the time it's built it will be obsolete. I decide to start looking at cheaper alternatives like Chromebooks and older tablets. I sell the 2 other parts and was going to sell the Monitor to a friend, and when he comes over to see it I open the box for the first time and see the bottom of the monitor frame has a curve to it, the plastic or the mold used had a problem so the screen is almost falling out. It was badly warped and the bezel was popped of because of it. I take it back to BestBuy 10 days after the 15 day return policy for store credit like I was told I could do, and when I get there customer service said "no problem" we can see the issue and everything was still in plastic. I give them the credit card I used and the cashier says he needs the managers approval to give me the in store credit gift card. "BRYCE" the so called manager tells me that this is a MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND CAN"T EVEN GIVE ME STORE CREDIT FOR AN UNUSED ITEM ONLY 25 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. He refuses to talk about it and gets me a phone number and has a lower employee call. They say I can pay shipping to them and I'll get another one. I do not want another terrible product and since I used a gift card and cash I only paid $100 for it and shipping would be 25% the cost of the monitor I do not want. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE I USED TO BUY ALL OF MY ELECTRONICS (IPod,2 TV's PlayStation,speakers etc.1st purchase in 1996) FROM BESTBUY AND WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A CHEAP LAPTOP WITH THE IN STORE CREDIT. Now I want nothing to do with they way they treat customers and will stick to buying from online stores that will pay for two way shippimg and have CHEAPER PRICES. I know you "Price Match" but not the COUPON CODE PRICES, or EMail Blast Specials, or the BUNDLE DEALS, or theMail in rebate offers, or the UNADVERTISED PRICES THAT YOU CAN ONLY SEE IN YOUR SHOPPING CART.etc I made my point Always Read the Brick and Mortor Store FINE PRINT because we all buy locally to support our communities and for the customer service you are supposed to get when a problem ensues but truthfully Online Stores Such as Amazon, NewEgg and MonoPrice don't even need sales associates to help lifelong customers in person to make for a pleasant and value driven shoppimg experience

Acer - H6 Series 23" IPS LED HD Monitor - Black
I've had this monitor for about a month now, and it has performed beautifully from the start. Large enough to expand all that tiny print from the web, but small enough to fit onto a desk without causing trouble. It stands 2 or 3 inches higher than my last one, so that there is no issue with stuff sitting on the desk. Although it does stand a little higher than my last monitor, it is very stable. There is no issue with it teetering around or being top-heavy which is something i thought about when i first put it together.
The buttons are not conveniently placed by my definition, being underneath. You must either know just where to put your finger to push the off, or you must scrunch down to see. Eventually I'm sure I will become accustomed to its exact placement, but I'm still in the stage of pushing whatever other button that is right beside it. The button placement makes for a nice streamlined look, but I'd actually rather have the buttons right out there.
I've used it with both the HDMI and the VGA adaptor cords, on two different computers, one a new computer just purchased, and one an older (6 years or so) computer. It performed beautifully on both, and in both cases setup was a matter of plugging it in, plugging the speakers in, and turning it on. The colors are good, the resolution is good, and the contrast makes reading easy. The screen itself is shiny rather than matte, yet there hasn't been a problem with a reflection causing any kind of problem. I was in the store when I chose it (rather than online) so I could see it in action, and I got this particular monitor because the contrast and colors overall were so much better than any of the other monitors, all of which had the matte screen. Whether the outstanding display is a function of the type of screen or is a result of the high quality of this monitor I don't know, but the result is a great viewing experience.
This monitor is an excellent choice that has worked very well for me. From my experience so far, I expect this will last a very long time giving me good service the entire time.

I originally got this monitor for my work, but guess what? This baby is staying at home. I caught it on sale for $137. I was looking for a 22" under $125 and saw this very highly rated 23" one and gave it a look. I figured for just a few bucks more, I can get a better rated monitor and a slightly larger size.
The bonus is I was looking at one on a big name website, which aggravated me by not shipping my order for a week and a half last time I ordered there, guess they want me to go "prime". Not that a whole story in itself. So the bonus is, I see this one, and I can go pick it up today! And even better, I can look around at other monitors, their quality and features before I even commit to this one! Wow what a concept! I can even bring her home for 14 days and see how we get along, and take her back if we aren't compatible. Man this is like dating! Wow how cool! Who could have thought of this thing called shopping? And like is only better wow
The monitor, "my date", came ready to go, she was so pretty, everything as it should be, no dead pixels, yeah! She tilts nicely. She came with her vga cable, and hey another bonus, she came with an hdmi cable too! Of course she has the power connectors.
She did require very minor assembly, no tools however. The base screws onto the stand via a preset screw with a folding lever, that allows you to screw it together and fold the tiny level down and out of the way. You could use a Phillips if you like, but it isn't needed. The stand then slides onto the back of the monitor, to click into place, hey we are done!
She even has speakers if I would like her to talk to me, with separate on screen controls. I see the reviews many people don't even realize their baby can talk to them. I honestly didn't plug up her vocal chords since I needed a head phone jack to head phone jack for that. I can't imagine this will sound better than my computers speakers, so I probably won't bother.
She can't see me with no camera, but I have one on my laptop, so I don't need a camera.
This monitor is HD and it shows like it. The monitor is bright, the colors are true. It's very easy to use.
I would buy this again, and am considering a second one for work. The price is right and the monitor is good enough.
Read the specs on it you can't go wrong.

Good Engineering -- Bad Quality Control

Posted 3 years ago

Guest

I bought two of this model. The display is very crisp, with great colors. However, one of the models had a little backlight bleed at the lower left corner, causing black to be bluish looking at the screen from a right-hand angle, but dark brownish when looking from a left-hand angle, which I was willing to cope with because the overall display seemed ok, looking directly at it. However, the second monitor had a very distinct and more spread-out bleed, also from the same corner, in addition to another backlight bleed from the top right corner--on a dark/black background, it looked like a washed up piece of denim. it also caused certain colors to show up faded or gray-ish. Moreover, there was a stuck pixel in the center of the screen that shows up only when u have a bright color image/window above it. While the image seemed sharp with good colors, it was ruined by the backlight bleeds. I've done some search on the reviews on multiple sites, and found out that a few people had similar problems--at least the ones who were really bothered by the bleeds. Of course, I had to return the second monitor for a full refund. It is a shame for Acer to have such good engineering wasted by bad quality. Acer should test every aspect of their monitors before shipping them out. Since the images are very sharp and crisp, with great colors, I wouldn't hesitate tor recommend it except for the backlight bleeds. I'm not really sure If I should recommend this monitor since both monitors I bought had similar but different-level problems. If you decide to buy this monitor, test it especially on a solid black background to see if there is a backlight bleed and decide whether you're willing to cope with it or return it back to the store within return policy period.
